This bean free chili is one of our favorites. It tastes amazingly good and will satisfy your chili desires. The barley substitutes for the meat and beans and provides a nice chewy texture. Although it requires a good deal of chopping it is easy to assemble.
Soak 2 cups barley overnight then sprout for 2-3 days until a short roots appear.
In a large bowl combine
- 4 cups sprouted barley
- 1/2 teaspoon curry
- 2 Tablespoons Nama Shou
